Doonesbury Say What?

"There's much I want to say. I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to."
-- Christine O'Donnell in 2006, alleging that China has a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America"

"Privy to ... classified information"? Did her tin foil had slip and the aliens were finally able to beam a message in to her brain? From what I can see she's never worked in government, or for a contractor where she could have access to classified information. The debate in which she stated this was reported here:

Reality check, please! Table 4!

Good news, bad news: The Hobbit may begin production next year!

The good news: Warner and MGM are close to striking a deal which may allow the film to begin production with Peter Jackson at the helm. If they can start production, we'd be looking at 12/2012 for the first movie, the second about a year later. It is not yet finalized and formally announced, but it looks very promising. There's lots of things to be finalized, including some actor's guild problems that could cause the production to be moved from New Zealand to Europe, but I'm sure everything will be resolved.

The bad news: it's going to be shot in 3-D.

*sigh*

Michigan Wolverines hack evote system

"After election officials in Washington, D.C., egged on hackers to have a go at their new internet voting system, they did just that. The result was Michigan’s fight song “Hail to the Victors” played to voters after they cast their ballots."

Now that deserves a ROFLMAO!
